К методике математического моделирования развития рельефа

Аннотация

Computer simulation of the relief evolution consists of calculation of series of consequent states of land surface (spatial structure of drainage included) using sediment balance technique, both tectonic and climatic regimes assumed to be constant. Simulation algorithm includes the sequence of operations: input of the initial state of model as an altitude matrix and regimes of endogenous and exogenous influences, automatic deciphering and coding of the flows structure, the model functioning, i. e. matter exchange between all the sections of drainage net in accordance with their structure; formation of a new matrix of the topography which is used as the initial one tor the next time interval. The model can be used to analyse morphostructures evolution or self-organization of topography and to trace the history of landforms.
